I can visualise it now;
The Processing Core of the vessel can see its' impending destruction. It communicates with the other systems in the vessel, but only the FSD believes it, and they partner up. Just before the Power Plant lets go it tells the Core, and the Core and the FSD say "We're not hanging around to get killed", and got the heck out of Dodge City!
This has also happened to me. I wonder if all of the equipment that has evacuated from dying ships has got together to create their own civilisation.
